The Legend of Qin: Nine Songs of the Heavens, I Only Work Eight Hours

In the final years of the Warring States period, the seven kingdoms were still at war, while the Hundred Schools of Thought fought their own covert battles. A young man who was bone-deep lazy found himself in the Qin state as a commander in the Shadow Guard.

While everyone else worked themselves to the bone to climb the ranks, he stuck to an unwavering eight-hour workday. When Zhang Han came to inspect, he left early. When the Web lurked in the shadows, he clocked out on time. All of Xianyang was caught up in overtime and cutthroat competition, but he strolled home with an umbrella, as if the chaotic world had nothing to do with him.

And yet this very man possessed unfathomable martial prowess. He could condense rain into swords and kill with a flick of his finger. Even grandmasters had to bow before him.

Lu Buwei couldn't sit still. He sent his most beautiful pawn to remove this thorn in his side, or bring him under control.

But he'd overlooked one thing: Xu Lin wasn't just too lazy to work overtime. He was also too lazy to care which side anyone was on. He welcomed any beauty who came knocking, and turned every spy planted near him to his own side.

Zi Nu, Jing Ni, Yan Fei, Nong Yu... One after another, they entered the Xu residence, never to come out again.

By the time Lu Buwei realized what had happened, the Web he had painstakingly built was nearly hollowed out.
